I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER IT, I SAW FLUID LEAKING DOWN FROM THE AXLE AREA ONTO THE BRAKE HEAT SHIELD. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LEAK IN THE REAR RIGHT AXLE SEAL. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN JULY OF '08, MY WIFE CALLED TO TELL ME SHE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH OUR TRUCK. SHE WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AS SHE REPORTED A BRAKE FAILURE THAT AND WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT TO A BUSY ROAD. AS SHE APPROACHED THE END OF THE PARKING LOT, SHE BRAKED TO WAIT FOR A CLEARING IN TRAFFIC. SHE SAID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE TRUCK MADE A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE, AND THE TRUCK ROLLED OUT TO THE EDGE OF THE BUSY STREET UNTIL SHE PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPED THE TRUCK. SHE LEFT IT THERE AND WAITED FOR ME, AFRAID TO MOVE IT. I INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I FIGURED THAT THERE WAS A FAULT WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND THE SYSTEM WAS REBOOTED/SELF TESTED. ON AUGUST 22, 2008, THE FAULT RETURNED. MY WIFE BACKED THE TRUCK OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, AND THE TRUCK DISPLAYED THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN SHE TRIED TO STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY. SHE AVOIDED HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. SHE LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING SO AS TO NOT RESET THE ABS COMPUTER, AND CALLED ME OUT TO CHECK THE TRUCK. I COULD FIND NO MECHANICAL FAULT, AND FOUND THE ABS FULLY ENGAGING WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES, RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER. PUMPING THE BRAKES CAUSE NEAR FULL APPLICATION OF BRAKING FORCE, EVEN AT LIGHT PEDAL PRESSURE. I DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN ABS ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THE FAULT OCCURRED, THE "BRAKE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING RESOLVED THE PROBLEM, CONFIRMING MY SUSPICION OF A SOFTWARE FAULT. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND A NISSAN TSB THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DIRITO BROTHERS NISSAN IN CONCORD, CA TO HAVE THE TSB APPLIED, WHICH INVOLVED A ABS SOFTWARE UPDATE. I WAS SURPRISED AND UPSET TO LEARN THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AS THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS CONSIDERED AN "ADJUSTMENT." I WAS CHARGED $150 FOR THIS SERVICE. THE SERVICE WRITER STATED HE SAW A NUMBER OF TRUCKS WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN LEAKS PROFUSELY ONTO BY EMERGENCY BRAKES. MY EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT ALL ON A HILL. THE NISSAN MECHANIC HAS POINTED THIS OUT TO ME WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UP ON THE RACK. HE STATED THAT THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS AND STILL LEAKING. I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAL SPACER AND BEARING, FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $171.00 FOR PARTS, AND ALMOST $200.00 FOR LABOR. THIS HAS HAPPEN REPEATEDLY ON ALL NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR EXPENSES ON SUCH A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

BASICALLY I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN INTO THE POST OFFICE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD, CLANKING-TYPE OF NOISE. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING WITH THE REAR-END OF MY 05 TITAN 4X4, AND BEFORE I COULD STOP IT MADE THE HORRIFIC NOISE ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES. I FULLY EXPECTED TO LOOK INTO MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEE PARTS AND FLUID ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY, BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS SITE AND THE PROBLEMS NISSAN WAS HAVING WITH REAR-ENDS. *TR

AT JUST OVER 60,000 MILES, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED!!! I HAVE NEVER HAULED ANYTHING OVER 1100 LBS. I 'D PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 AND ALSO HAVE THE TOW PACKAGE. I DON'T DRIVE OFF ROAD. MY WARRANTY WAS UP @ 36,000 MILES. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILED AND THE RPMS WENT INTO THE "RED" WHEN I HAD PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. I WAS GOING ONLY 15MPH. THEN THE TRUCK FREE SPUN AND GRABBED AT A HIGHER RPM DAMAGING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AS I DROVE DOWN THE STREET, KNOCKING SOUNDS OCCURRED. THE TRUCK WILL BE TOWED ON MONDAY TO A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR WRECK IF THERE HAD NOT HAVE BEEN A SHOULDER TO COAST ONTO! *TR
